A Semantic Process for Syntactic Disambiguation
نویسنده
چکیده
Structural ambiguity in a sentence cannot be resolved without semantic help. We present a process for structural disambiguation that uses verb expectations, presupposition satisfaction, and plausibility, and an algorithm for making the final choice when these cues give conflicting information. The process, called the Semantic Enquiry Desk, is part of a semantic interpreter that makes sure all its partial results are wellformed semantic objects; it is from this that it gains much of its power.

The Meaning of Syntactic Dependencies
This paper discusses the semantic content of syntactic dependencies. We assume that syntactic dependencies play a central role in the process of semantic interpretation. They are defined as selective functions on word denotations. Among their properties, special attention will be paid to their ability to make interpretation co-compositional and incremental. To describe the semantic properties o...
متن کاملNamed Entity Disambiguation using Freebase and Syntactic Parsing
Named Entity Disambiguation (NED) is a fundamental task of semantic annotation for the Semantic Web. The task of Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) in Ontology-Based Information Extraction (OBIE) aims to establish a link between the textual entity mention and the corresponding class in the ontology. In this paper, we propose a NED process integrated in a rule-based OBIE system for French. We show ...
متن کاملApplying Constraints derived from the Context in the process of Incremental Sortal Specification of German ung-Nominalizations
Many German nominalizations with the affix -ung are sortally ambiguous. Within a sentence, lexico-semantic and/or syntactic phenomena may support disambiguation. The sortal interpretation of a nominalization may vary depending on the underlying syntactic analysis of one and the same, syntactically ambiguous sentence. We model the process of sortal disambiguation as a constraint-based incrementa...
متن کاملCombining Dependency and Constituent-based Resources for Structure Disambiguation
Unrestricted text analysis requires an accurate syntactic analysis but structural ambiguity is one of the most difficult problems to resolve. Researchers have tried different approaches to obtain the correct syntactic structure from analyzed sentences but not successful results have been obtained. Two different approaches have traditionally applied to syntactic analysis: constituent grammars an...
متن کاملBuilding semantic trees from XML documents
The distributed nature of the Web, as a decentralized system exchanging information between heterogeneous sources, has underlined the need to manage interoperability, i.e., the ability to automatically interpret information in Web documents exchanged between different sources, necessary for efficient information management and search applications. In this context, XML was introduced as a data r...
